Book Description

This miniature volume taken from the best-selling Darwin Awards series relays some of the best accounts of awe-inspiring criminal errors. Boggle at the man who tried to pass counterfeit $16 bills, the crook who hid behind the ATM he had just robbed, and the woman who called police to report that the cocaine she purchased was fake. This collection of cautionary tales proves that crime does pay...a genetic dividend! Including full-color illustrations and new, never-before-published stories, this miniature collection makes a wonderful addition to the Darwin Awards library.

An all right diversion.......2007-08-21

This book is just TOO small! Plus there are several pages of nothing but darwin-related funny quotes but I would have preferred a couple more stories. Also, for these mini-versions I think there should have been a very abbreviated version of the explaination of the Darwin Awards. Still, it's pretty funny...

NOT A BOOK - IT'S TINY!.......2007-07-12

My son loves the Darwin Awards books, so I ordered this one for his birthday. I was shocked when it arrived because it's only 2.25"x3.25" - not exactly the kind of thing you wrap up for a birthday present. I'm sending it back and getting him a real book!

Very Funny, but small.......2006-12-19

I got this book and the rest because I love the Darwin Award Books. But When I purchased it, I assumed it was a full sized book. It is in fact a very small book with about 180 pages of funny stories. I personally wish it was a regular sized book, but I'll take it as I can get it.

Book Description

An intimate biography of one of the greatest eccentric spirits of the modern cinema, from his earliest days in Ireland to his memorable swansong as Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films.

Its all here..and I like it.......2006-12-14

If youre a fan of Richard Harris, as I am ,you'll enjoy this biography very much. Richard Harris's life was eccentric on-screen and off; a truly gifted talent of cinema. I recommend watching Man in the Wilderness, Juggernaut, or the Cassandra Crossing. Watch Harris(in fine form) in the Harry Potter movies. Also, Pick up one of his music cds if you can.

Book Description

The realm of auditory cognition is beginning to affirm itself as a new research orientation. Until now, no volume has existed that covers in a didactic fashion the whole range of subjects in this domain. To rectify this situation a special tutorial workshop organized by the French Acoustical Society was held at IRCAM, the music research institute founded by Pierre Boulez. Specialists in perceptual organization, memory, attention, music psychology, neurospsychology, and developmental psychology were invited from Europe and North America. The chapters of this book present the materials from their lectures. The book will be useful to advanced students in the cognitive sciences and scientists specializing in many fields as well as in auditory psychology.

Book Description

In Checkmate! readers are invited to learn chess with Garry Kasparov, the World number one and the most famous figure in chess history, as their teacher. In this book chess players can discover all the various pieces and how they move, how to attack and how to defend, how to capture, and, crucially, how to give check and deliver checkmate.

Customer Reviews:

Finally found the starter book.......2006-10-06

I have been researching for months to find a good 'starter' book to begin a chess club. I have searched online and made many stops at book stores and even asked many questions. Some of the books out there are excellent, but the cost was a little more than I wanted to spend as I am starting the club for homeschoolers and wanted to do it more as a ministry than a money-making enterprise.
To me, a great technician doesn't always translate to a great teacher. No doubt Kasparov was the former, but after reading this book he is definitely the latter as well. I believe it is an excellent book for beginners and even intermediates will find clear and colorful information here. It is also fun to read (a great quality especially for young people). The contents are:
1) the basics
2) the pieces and their moves
3) notation
4) winning and drawing
5) more about the pieces
6) tactical play
7) checkmate
8) opening play
9) endgame play
10) solutions to puzzles
11) glossary

For my needs it clearly achieves a 5 star rating. It is an inexpensive way to start a club or even to teach children. Not only that, but I will be teaching my wife tonight using this very book.
Thanks Gary!

An excellent way to learn the basics of chess .......2005-11-29

In my first week of the fourth grade, the teacher announced that everyone in the class was going to learn how to play chess. She believed that it was the best game to be incorporated into an educational scheme and she was right. We all learned and certain times each week were set aside for games of chess. It was a very popular time, as playing any game was preferable to doing other things like spelling and writing practice.
I am in complete agreement with this philosophy, firmly believing that everyone should learn to play chess. This book is an excellent way to start, which is what you would expect, given that Kasparov is considered the best chess player ever. He starts with a description of the pieces, how they can move and their power rankings. From this, he sets up the game and explains the basic goal of the game as well as the algebraic notation used to represent the movement of the pieces. Kasparov uses a series of situations to illustrate problems, such as how to force a (stale)mate from a specific orientation. Solutions to these problems are given at the end and many of them are nontrivial. You are really required to think hard before finding the answer to some of them.
Basic strategies such as classical openings, defenses, the pin, a skewer and back rank mating options are covered. The illustrations are very high quality and it could have been used as the textbook for my fourth grade class, where I first learned how to play. Adult beginners will also find it an excellent way to learn.

Book Description

Grand Designs provides inspiration and information to anyone thinking of taking on the challenge of building their own house. During the 1990s, architects and designers have increasingly called for us to change our houses to reflect the way we live, exchanging poky kitchens for larger living spaces, having more room than one bathroom, and taking the surrounding environment into our plans. What better way of accomodating such demands than by designing and building your own home, creating a living space suited to your changing lifestyle? This aspirational book not only provides a guide to the series, but it illustrates the increasingly fashionable desire to design and build a home of one's own.

Kyle Maynard.......2007-07-10

Kyle Maynard is such an inspiration. I have recommended this book to several people: a wrestling coach, a parent scared of giving birth to a congenital amputee, a girl with poor self-esteem. Kyle is an amazing young man and a blessing to humanity.

Inspiration.......2007-05-16

When i read the book "No Excusses" i really felt like he was an inspiration to every one who has a disabiliy. He shows real courage and how you can do anything if you set your mind to it.And its really showed me how many people out their complain that their life is not good well thats sucks dosen't it and i think kyle has shown a real insperation to all of us how he shows he got through the rough spots in life and that shows how anybody can do it if they set there minds to it.thanks to Kyle Maynard he has shown inspiration to all of us!!

A true champion in life.......2007-03-09

I just finished this book, and I'm planning on recommending it to everyone! I've never met Kyle personally, but after reading this inspirational biography, he's at the top of my list of people I admire and aspire to be more like. He shows that no matter what limitations you may face in life, you can accomplish anything with faith (in God AND in yourself) and determination. What a class act!

Incrediable.......2007-01-15

I liked this book but had expected a little different. I rate it 4-5 stars just based on this amazing man. It is a excellent gift for someone that is a wrestler. Or maybe a struggling youth that wants to become one. For myself the emphasis was on the struggle to become the best wrestler. I would have like to read that but more emphasis on his personal struggles. His thoughts and ways he inspires himself and others. I have seen this young man on tv and was more inspired by those few moments more so than the book.

Fantastic Rise.......2006-10-30

Kyle Maynard is a boy born without arms and legs. His parents don't allow him the luxury of self-pity, and he learns first to survive, and then to thrive. He learns to be an effective football player, and then a state contending wrestler and champion weight lifter.

The story is less about being a champion in wrestling, than life. It is also about parents supporting a child to face life as it is, to not expect handouts or sympathy. Any non-wrestler can learn from Kyle's no-excuses attitude towards facing adversity.

Book Description

Beautifully designed A-Z of the totality of revolutionary youth politics. Sort of a Situ-inspired Steal This Book for everyday life, love, and how to live it. Heavily illustrated with photos, cartoons, posters, and other useful accoutrements for the new millenium. Believe the hype, and check out why this is already an underground bestseller.

Just finished reading this.......2007-09-04

Good book. A cry for true freedom. An attack on artificial needs and the whole system of working too much and not enjoying life.

Truly, "To be alive is not the same as to live."

Awesome introduction to many different anarchist thoughts.......2007-05-21

Someone named Drew on down the review list said that this book is as anti-communist as George Orwell. I don't know if he is trying to be ironic but George Orwell fought in the Workers Party of Marxist Unification militia in the Spanish Civil War. So I guess in that respect this book is about as much of a red bash as a red bashes himself..... not in the least. George Orwell was not anti-red he was anti-authoritarian.

This book as any anarchist book is, is also anti-authoritarian. It will introduce you to the ideas of people who are anti-authoritarian, anti-exploitation, anti-racist and anti-sexist. It is a whirlwind ride of common sense that is so close that sometimes it feels beyond our reach.

Awesome Book on Practical Anarchy.......2006-04-27

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in freedom and practical anarchy, anyone unafraid to play at life, anyone who dares to live and think off the beaten path.

Very different from your standard commercial fare, this book has more heart, soul and mischief than the entire NY Times Bestseller list combined. The crimethinc ex-workers are definitely my kind of people.

The trees, the stars, the mountains are all alive. Are we?.......2006-03-23

Reading this book will give you an adrenaline rush equivalent to moshing at a really good punk show or making love in some far-away rainforest, your bodies and minds erupting like a red hot volcano. It reads like a fun conversation with a modern day Abbie Hoffman or Guy Debord (with a scratchy record of Chumbawamba playing in the background). Within these pages, the institutions of work, school, church, monogamy and capitalism come under attack, urging readers to live deliberately and passionately, wildly and freely, encouraging us with every waking moment to choose between generosity or greed, liberation or domination. There is no escaping one's mortality. Therefore, what really matters most: fighting on the streets for social justice or numbing away your pain with sitcoms and processed foods,the year you spent doing peace work in Chiapas or a meaningless lifetime of routine office labor? The choice is yours.

Interesting but seriously flawed.......2005-09-30

I'm not really sure what to think of some parts of this book, or to some extent the book as a whole. An interesting, obviously intelligent group of people wrote this, and made some parts deliberately ambiguous, so perhaps I can be forgiven my indecision. However, there are some parts that I find enequivocably repugnant.

The idea of a personal revolution, not based on an existing "system", is nothing new but I've rarely seen it expounded on at such length. And for what it is, it's done well. The layout is eye-pleasing, the writers are verbose and eloquent without being pretentious, the profiles of historical deviants can be quite illuminating, and there's a certain amount of wit, something I've not come to expect from anarchists. The exhortations to live life instead of simulating it, and rejecting allegiances, are inspiring. There are even some amazingly insightful comments on life and reality that reminded me of Brad Warner's "Hardcore Zen".

Unfortunately, where Warner was talking about a life of direct knowledge of reality and a morality based on that and interconnectedness, "Days of War, Nights of Love" seems primarily a celebration of selfishness. Ayn Rand for moneyless extreme leftists? Not quite, but it's exultation of individual fulfillment over all else is quite repulsive sometimes. They unabashadly consign morality as a concept to a Nietzschean trash bin, and celebrate adultery as a liberating act. The glowing section on Rimbaud leaves out entirely his greatest flaw (he was involved in the slave trade, something the writers must have known), but still portrays him as a cruel, greedy, and unpleasant man who used others up and went out of his way to dominate enemies. If this is their personal revolution, they're welcome to it.

Would I reccomend it? Absolutely. But I would reccomend it be read with an extremely discerning mind. If you're reading it for casual enjoyment the sheer amount of nonsense may put you off. If you're only budgeting for one crimethinc book, I'd put "Evasion" ahead of this.
